Just picked up this gem off of some crazy supra nut. You guys might know 'em ;)

The " aby supra" as it is known as, had a dead cylinder. It sorta ran, but overheat like a mofo. The breaks were non functional after rusting out from sitting so long but would that stop me? NO! Nursed this beast for 50km, in 30 deg C weather, stop and go traffic, heater blasting to prevent it from overheating all the way to a ferry. Get on a ferry, and another 70km to my house.

Then, one fine weekend a friend and I rebuilt this little dream into the beauty she is. New exhaust valves, lapped intake valves, new gaskets, brembo rotors and pbr pads, new fluids and fired it up!

She's a dream and a great little commuter car. Thanks Duane! :beer:

Good to see you have a DD, but damn , you aren't ashamed to be seen in that?

It's got to beat relying on friends to come get you and take you where they want to go. Plus you know their isn't no shame in Toby's game.............:biglaugh:

HA! I had a Tercel 2 door coupe that was my "parts getter".
It was'nt a looker or hot-rod,but it fired right up and got me where i needed to go.
It reminded me of those little Italian taxi cabs

lol, nah it's sweet. I love it. Not only does it cost next to nothing to run but also to insure!

I miss the supra, oh yes. But nobody looks down on a University student rockin' out the beater =D
